September 1, 2023, Friday night, 6:53pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California, USA. It is the 21st anniversary of the day I consider my spiritual birth. I had moved to valencia, California on Sunday, September 1, 2002. It was 2pm, I had finished unpacking and decided to go to the apartment complex gym for a workout. At this very spot on my walk over I was hit with an indescribable sensation of shear happiness that lasted five and a half years. I still consider that far and away the best of my life.
